USA Today - Military suicides

Colleen McGuire, "Risk-taking is common among soldiers who are suicidal. Such behaviors include sleep deprivation, erratic conduct, excessive alcohol use and abuse, violations of Army regulations, high-risk driving, mishandling finances and infidelity" ("Troubled soldiers' treatment criticized," News, Monday).
